Anyone familiar with this repair?

Mechanic said it is about 10 hours of labor to tear down the motor and replace the part.

He said he would not fix it, said it was not worth dumping that kind of money into this motor.

Motor has great compression, excellent and even spark, great fuel flow.

I am mechanically inclined, is this something that I could attempt to do on my own?
